A Howling Welcome Home!!

We made it to Friday! Yesterday's weather had everything from heat and cool breezes to sun and pouring rain, and it was topped off with a tornado warning. But we made it through the storms pretty much unscathed.

There are a few things on our agenda for the weekend, and one is that we will be welcoming a new addition to our household. Her name is Taylor, and she's 14 years old. When she arrives, I'll tell you her story. But I'm hopeful that the dogs will give her a 'howling welcome' like they did for me when I got home this afternoon. What's heard on the video below is not the usual welcome that I receive; I can only guess that the dogs have taken a cue from me, because it's how I feel many times when Friday and the weekend comes!! I hope you enjoy your weekend too!!

**The loudest dog heard in the video is Josh, followed by Sheba who is howling in the lower key, CarrieAnne barking with Charlie and Cissy singing the melody in a higher key.**

Jill came in to see what all that was about! What a great welcome, bet it made you feel loved.A new resident, here's to a great welcome from the gang for her as well!We had your mix of weather yesterday as well. Goofiness!Have a nice relaxing weekend, stay cool and enjoy your time off!

I love that sound!!! My family tell me that when ever I leave the house, little darla sits on the daybed on the porch and watches out of the window until I return. She will sit there allll day. : ) Something about that, makes me smile. Dogs are so loyal and sweet. I can't wait to meet the new addition. Have a great weekend.

HURRY UP MOM!!!! So sweet! Hope all works out well with Taylor. Will be thinking of you-bless your heart!Hoping you have a sunny weekend. We are in a tornado watch at the moment with lots of wind and rumbling and of course the obligatory RAIN~

Hi Kim - I just played the howling video and now Luigi puppy thinks that my laptop is a dog and is trying to eat it!! He was really spooked by it. He also howls like a hound even if I go out the garden without him - good job we are moving into the country away from neighbours. Lily. xxx

A Little About Me...

In 2007 my dream of living in the country and sharing it with senior Golden Retrievers came true when we moved to a small town in Northern Virginia into a home that would become 'Golden Pines.' Our lives are now filled with more rescued Goldens and Labs than I'll admit to, a Wheaten Terrier, a lively little Scottie named Todd, and one very tolerant cat and one that's not tolerant at all. This blog chronicles snippets of a life that has truly 'gone to the dogs!'
